This change being forced upon us by the very organisation we pay feels wrong. I will be reducing my paid account to free if they bring about this change and urge you to do the same. This is my report ticket.
"Enough. You mention competitors, maybe time I sought them out. I pay you, I am your client. There are a host of other free options. If your client base accept this change and are willing to support it then I'll simply reduce my membership to free. You need to heed the opinions of the people paying the bill, rather than forcing change upon them."
